It's been almost a whole month since that unnecessary argument with Mya, and I have not received one call or text from her. I tried calling her but it would just go straight to voicemail and she would just leave my ass on read. She lucky that I don't know her schedule because she would have been hearing from me.

I don't know why I even bother because I don't know if we were dating or if we were just having fun with each other. But whatever it was I guess that it has officially ended.

Am I sad?

No not really, it was fun while it lasted.

Am I mad?

Yeah because she took a little statement that I made out to the heart.

She said that the doctor's told her that she wasn't pregnant so why would she get ma- I am not about to go down that lane again. I head to the kitchen to make me a bowl of cereal because why the hell not. Opening the fridge door I see that there is not milk.

"Of course the fuck not," I slammed the door shut not in the mood to go anywhere. But know I am craving my Cinnamon Toast Crunch and I am going to be aggravated if I don't get my bowl. I could eat it dry but then I am going to get thirsty which means that I want a glass of milk.

But then I realized that last month I didn't really go grocery shopping last month, why because I didn't want. I tossed on whatever I can that didn't smell like ass and grabbed my keys.

"I need to make a list and stick to it," I mutter to myself as I go down every aisle in the nearest grocery store. "I also need to stop going grocery shopping on an empty stomach." Just as I said that I crashed into somebody with the shopping cart. 'I'm sorry, I wa-, oh it's you," I know that that sounded rude but this was the last face that I wanted to see in this lifetime.

"Wow really Tanner," Mya says with her nose scrunched up.

"Yeah really," I went around her not wanting to talk to her any further.

Call me a bitch, but I don't care.

"I don't even understand why you are mad we weren't even dating."

"I'm no-" I had to stop myself from going the fuck off because we are in a public area, and getting into an argument is the last thing that I want to do. "I don't give a damn about all that and you know it! You always see me some type of stalker when it comes to you when you came onto me, you're the one that had unprotected sex which could have possibly. So you know what you shouldn't be mad at anybody but yourself, but of course you don't like to take responsibility for anything that you cause. Be mad because I can really care less right now," I can tell that she is pissed by the way that her nose is flaring, but she knows that I am right.

"Is this boy giving you any trouble?" Malik asks coming around the corner wrapping his arms around Mya with a smug look on his face.

"No can you go and pay for this?" she asks handing him the basket.

"Sure thing babe," he kisses her temple before bumping me with his shoulders making his way to check-out.

"So I'm guessing that you are back with him?"

"I don't see why that is any of your business," I flips her ling hair over her shoulder before crossing her arms over her chest

"It's not but if you are then that is nothing but a classic you," I laugh sarcastically walking away.

"What the hell is that suppose to mean?!"

"You know exactly what the fuck I mean," that was all I said before I attempted to walk away.

"No, I don't know what you're talking abo- Tanner don't you dare walk away from me when I am talking to you!" she whisper yells, lucky for us it's the morning and nobody usually comes to the grocery store around this time.

"You fucked him didn't you?" I spun around so fast that she had to jump back.

"Excuse me?"

"That is all that I am to you huh Mya? Just someone that would take your virginity so that you can go back to Malik just like you always do."

"I do not always go back to him." She states offended.

"Yes you do you always go back to him Mya, and for some reason I am that dumbass that always want to be that shoulder that you cry on, but know this the moment that motherfucker hurts you I won't be there to help you."

"Believe me I won't. I didn't need you then, and I won't need you know."

"Is that the reason why you came by my place years ago crying because Malik kept on trying to get in your pants?"

"Fuck you Tanner."

"I'm glad that you're not pregnant, bringing a baby into this fucked up situation," I know that that probably struck a nerve, but it wasn't like I said that she was going to be a terrible mother. "Nice seeing you Mya" I push the cart feeling a headache forming right at this moment.

I honestly can't believe that she went back to Malik, after all the shit that she said that he put her through. The guy literally cheats on her and she goes back to him like he was the best she ever had. And all I did was say that I wasn't ready to have a fucking baby and she drops like a empty bag of chips.

But if she wants to continue to be in a toxic relationship, then I am going to let her.

I refuse to repeat what happened in high school, because I'll be damned if I let Mya Hites make a fool out of me again.

~Mya~

I listen to Malik rap along to whoever was on the radio I wasn't really paying attention as my mind was on the incident that happened back at the store. I thought that it was kind of a switch déjà vu with the fact that Tanner was with his ex when he bumped into me, and now I bumped into him with my ex.

Sadness slowly starts to rise at that thought that he would actually think that I had gotten back with Malik. I thought that he knew me better than that. The only reason I was out with him was because he offered to take me grocery shopping and that he would pay, an offer that I couldn't refuse, okay maybe I could have but that is not the point.

I carelessly rub my flat stomach as Malik turns down the road that leads to my condo. Guilt started to eat at me over the fact that I had basically lied to Tanner. I need to tell him the truth before it is too late.

That I am indeed carrying his child.
